The January cold snap looks like its now behind us, a slew of games between now and the month hopefully awaits. Should you be within the confines of the KD Stadium on Saturday, it means Newcastle Blue Star are back in action. Kicking their heels since 2026 kicked into gears, Paul Brayson’s men keen to get going after their Boxing Day win at Carlisle City – three of the hardest fought points this club has ever managed to collect. A performance that showed no signs of festive g

Returning to the KD Stadium……welcome back Collins.   Newcastle Blue Star are thrilled to announce that Collins Unuareokpa, the talented former Blue Star Academy forward, has returned NE15 and become Paul Brayson’s newest recruit.   Joining from Whickham FC, Collins featured against the lads in our recent fixture at Glebe Sports Ground, showing off the pace, directness and tenacity that fans can expect to see in the coming weeks.   A charismatic and lively player, Collins will

If you were late through the Teesdale Park turnstiles last Saturday, chances are you would have missed two goals being scored. Hosts Thornaby opening the scoring in the second minute of the game, visitors Newcastle Blue Star equalising just three later. All the goalscoring action concluded within the first 300 seconds of the encounter and even though there was a floodlight failure with roughly 300 left, it did not halt an eventual draw between the two sides. A first point for

Newcastle Blue Star are delighted to announce the signing of Craig Scott, the vastly experienced defender joining the Star and becoming Paul Braysons fourth addition to NE15. Formerly club captain at Dunston UTS, Scotty enjoyed 5 seasons at the UTS Stadium, including a Nothern League title winning season back in 2019, before turning out for Heaton Stannington in their playoff promotion season too. Craig transfers to us from Ryton FC where he has been after missing a season th

After a month’s worth of enforced rest, Newcastle Blue Star were back on the field last Saturday. Unfortunately for manager Paul Brayson and his players, the additional hiatus could not lead to a first win under the new setup. Before the visit of Northallerton to the KD Stadium, Blue Star’s last outing in the Northern League was the 2-1 defeat to Whitley Bay. After the visit of Northallerton to the KD Stadium, it meant the Scotswood outfit had succumbed to another reverse by

Although being dealt five postponements in a row is far from ideal for any team looking to keep themselves busy, the extended hiatus may serve to be a blessing in disguise for Newcastle Blue Star’s new management team. Because anyone who takes the reins of a club once the campaign has got underway, has to forego any pre-season planning. The phase for transition smaller than a summer appointment but still just as important as any other. Thankfully for new boss Paul Brayson, th

Newcastle Blue Star are delighted to announce the signing of Richie Slaughter, the Heaton Stannington captain moving to NE15. The popular and talented midfielder, who lifted silverware at St James' Park with the Stan in May, will bring unquestionable talent and leadership to Paul Brayson's squad. Slaughter will be linking back up with Brayson, having played together together for a number of seasons at Newcastle Benfield. Previous clubs for Richie also include; Blyth Spartans,

Jack Wilson signs on the dotted line for Newcastle Blue Star, the talented attacker becoming Paul Brayson's latest addition. Blessed with both technical and physical ability, Jack will bring a range of playing experiences to the squad, having been involved with Sheffield United's academy set up from age 7 to 16, before featuring in the North East Counties league, and then a spell in the USA. A player who is comfortable on the ball and will bring intensity to our side, Jack wi

The wait is finally over, Newcastle Blue Star have a new first-team manager. Paul Brayson the next incumbent of the baton, everyone connected to the club wishes he and assistant Gareth Mcalindon the very best of luck. While the new look management team have been dealt a baptism of fire in terms of competitive introduction. The first of three consecutive away games gets underway in a few hours, all three opponents harbouring desires of at least a playoff place at the end of th

Newcastle Blue Star are delighted to announce the appointment of Paul Brayson as First Team Manager. West End born Brayson returns to his roots at the KD Stadium, with the new appointment bringing a wealth of playing experience at both professional and non-league level to his new managerial role. The former NUFC striker's goalscoring pedigree speaks for itself, having found the net over 500 times throughout a career spanning more than two decades. Brayson's journey began in t

As soon as one era within football ends, another begins. Marc Nash’s stint as Newcastle Blue Star manager reaching its conclusion last weekend after his decision to resign. Thanks go to himself, Woody and Graeme for their near two years at the club. Plenty of memories made in that time, moments that will not be forgotten anytime soon and as the hunt for a new managerial team continues at the KD Stadium, the hunt for three points under interim management is Saturday’s primary

Newcastle Blue Star can confirm the departure of first team management trio Marc Nash, Anthony Woodhouse and Graeme Scott following their resignation with immediate effect.   The club would like to place our thanks on record to all three for their efforts and commitment over the past 23 months.   A spell that saw the club promoted from Northern League Division 2 to Division 1 in their first season in charge, followed by a near successive promotion only to lose the league play

An even split of six goals meant Newcastle Blue Star had to make do with a share of the points last Saturday. Current league leaders Guisborough Town making their way to the KD Stadium and almost coming away with a full maximum for their efforts. However, Marc Nash’s men dug deep to get themselves back into the game and after already finding themselves 2-0 down at the interval, a quickfire pair of strikes straight after the break from Paul Dudgeon and Liam Wotherspoon restore

Last Friday’s trip to County Durham was certainly an entertaining one and with some of the best goals you will probably see scored all season, the clash between West Auckland and Newcastle Blue Star turned out to be one for the ages. Unfortunately, goals of high quality do not earn you extra marks come full time and although Blue Star’s efforts were of top quality, they ended up at a lesser quantity than that of Friday night’s fellow promotion hopefuls. Hopes that from a West
